Personal Milestone

Jennifer, and ile de Grace, passing the 360 degree mark!
At 8:26 pm Greenwich Mean Time, on Friday, February 17, 2012, ile de Grace crossed 1 degrees, 10.2 minutes West longitude. The significance being that both ile de Grace and Jennifer have now crossed every degree of longitude on the planet by sea. On April 25, 2008, she and I, along with Captain Larry and mates Dominique and Alex, left La Rochelle, France on her delivery voyage across the North Atlantic to the Chesapeake Bay. While a circumnavigation it does not make, that is a lot of blue water in just under four years and, for me, a personal milestone.
